A Day of Relaxation

The redeye light freaks Baker out and gives her the "shocked" look.

Baker is such a happy baby when she wakes up.

We had a wonderful day relaxing and visiting with Colin. Our power went out at 5:30 this morning and came back on at 4pm. The heavy rain and wind caused a tree onto the power lines, breaking 2 poles. It is definitely harder to function without power when you a baby. All the warm water was saved for Baker's bottles.

Best Buds!

Last week Baker and I had to pleasure of meeting Miss Emma. She is the daughter of my old college roommate, Kate. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but Baker is exactly 2 months older than Emma. They are the same height. Yes..it looks like Baker is going to take after her mom, a little on the short side. Baker is just 1 pound heavier than Emma. It already looks like they're going to be best buds!

Baker loves to eat!

This past week Baker started eating solids for breakfast and dinner! I already miss the days of giving her just a bottle. So far her favorite is bananas. It didn't take her long to get use to eating from a spoon. She takes after her mom and dad with her love of eating.

Babbling Baker

Hope this makes you smile!

Slacker!!!

WOW!! This is the longest I've been without blogging! I have so much catching up to do! Things have been so busy! Trying to be a teacher, mom, and wife can be exhausting! On top of it all, we are getting serious about house hunting! Our lease is up May 31st. I'll catch everyone up tomorrow. Colin is coming from Arizona tomorrow for an unexpected visit! YIPPEE!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Baker nor Kota knew why they were dressed in green day (Kota's sporting a shamrock collar), but it brought an extra smile to my face today. St. Patrick's Day will always mean more to me than shamrocks or leprechauns because it was a year ago today I found out I was pregnant with Baker. A year later, look at the gift I have. Her shirt says Mommy's Lucky Charm and she really is!

These are 0-3 month jeans and they fell off of her when I picked her up. Maybe she'll never have to worry about her weight.

Baker always has her hands in her mouth. She even tries to drink her bottle with a hand in her mouth.

It is precious to see how aware Baker is of Kota. I think she's in love with him. She is very curious about him and loves following him with her eyes. Before I know it she'll be chasing him around.

Bouncy! Bouncy!

We recently introduced Baker to the bouncy seat. Yes...it's on the lowest height. She loves the lights and noises it makes. (I love this picture!)

She's starting to get the idea of using her legs!

Baker was a little frustrated in this picture.

Kota's checking things out.

We put her in the seat for a little while each day. She loves to watch us cook dinner.
